Rosie the Corgi was a big fan of making sure that she gave Shawn a grilling cookbook for Father’s Day. She loves grilling, since it means occasional morsels for her. 😉 Since Rosie lacks in opposable thumbs, I picked out “Weber’s Real Grilling” on her behalf, and this was the first recipe we tried. All I can say is wow! Total winner. The only change we made from the as-printed version is that we cut back on the peppers a bit
- 1 dried ancho chile pepper (recipe called for 4…I think 2 would be ideal)
- 2 tbls canola oil
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 3 tbls soy sauce
- 2 tbls balsamic vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
- chicken wings
De-stem and de-seed the chile pepper. Warm oil over medium heat and add chiles – toast until lightly puffed. Remove from heat and pour oil and chiles into a bowl and soak in hot water for 30 minutes.
Pour the chiles and remaining marinade ingredients into a food processor and process until very smooth. Place wings and marinade in a large plastic bag and marinade in the fridge for 2+ hours.
Remove the wings from bag and discard marinade. Grill over medium direct heat for about 20 minutes.
Yum! If Rosie needs future grill cookbook ideas, we really like “How to Grill” from the BBQ University guy, and “The Gas Grill Gourmet”.
Oooh, might be a good idea for the new pup to give to Shawn when he gets here next weekend! 😉 Thanks for the heads up!!
